Once Upon a Time There Lived a Girl. Short Stories to Help You Understand Yourself
14.99 €
Before you is a book of short tales about girls and boys, full of paradoxes and metaphors. In it, like a mosaic, collected moments of life that surprise, delight, discourage and make you think. Of course, you can read it all in one sitting. You may even ask: what is there to read here? And you'd be right. There is nothing to read. Each story is only five to seven sentences long. But if you swallow the sentences at high speed, you can quickly become overwhelmed and not catch the essence. So please, take your time. Let the images blossom and the metaphors do their healing work. Take the book with you on your journey. Look at the pictures. Put it in a prominent place and open it from time to time. Bring it to a friend's get-together and, as in the distant pre-digital days, read it by pointing to the line and page. Reflect on what tale is about you today. Write something down in your notebook (if you don't have a notebook, get one. It's an incomparable pleasure). Make it a screen saver for your cell phone screen. And finally, start practicing writing stories yourself. I assure you that the world of sarcastic metaphor and life paradoxes will open for you in all its glory. How I envy you all.... Good luck.
